Here's something to check out for financial research.  If you can't get it
through here, it probably doesn't exist <g>...

** Money Site Crowds Overwhelming Number of Clicks Into Single Page **

My eyes are not what they used to be, so seeing all these little words
with little checkboxes packed into one page was a bit overwhelming at
first. If links had weight, http://money.york.pa.us/ would be a ten-
ton boulder. But at the same time this site offers an incredible
number of money and stock related resources. Take the first link set,
company information.

Check the boxes that look interesting, enter a stock symbol into the
box at the bottom, and click the "Get Checked Company Information"
button. (WARNING: Every box you checked will open in a new page, which
is a good way to crash your browser if you're low on memory.) There
are several sets of links on this page that let you do things like
compare stock prices, use search engines, get daily news, and so on.
An overwhelming page, as I said, but very useful.

Or have specific web site pages sent to you, perhaps when a key word
appears:

** Web2Mail Sends Web Pages by E-Mail **

If you've got a better e-mail connection than a Web connection, or
your surfing is limited mostly to a few regularly-visited sites, you
might find Web2Mail ( http://www.web2mail.com/ ) interesting. The
site's been in development since November 1999 and is still being
enhanced, but it's worth a look.

What the service does is send you HTML pages in your e-mail. You have
sites sent to you daily, every weekday, once a month, whatever. You
can specify that only pages be sent only when they have the words you
specify (this feature is called "WatchWords," see
http://www.web2mail.com/about.php?topic=watchwords for more
information.)

The site has a list of popular pages that you can have sent to you,
but you can have any page mailed to you. Worth a look.
